A pre-application checklist for Scottsville

Before you apply in Scottsville, a community of about 537, work through these steps:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.

3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Virginia regulator's licence list.
5. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
6. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.
7. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
